NHTSA Criticizes Tesla for Misleading Self-Driving Claims on Social Media

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has raised concerns about Tesla's social media posts, which it claims conflict with the company's official messaging that drivers must maintain control over their vehicles. Despite Tesla's transparency on its website about the limitations of its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features, the NHTSA's Gregory Magno noted that Tesla's social media activity, particularly on X, has endorsed content showing disengaged driver behavior. This could mislead consumers into believing Tesla vehicles are fully autonomous, prompting the NHTSA to investigate further.
